Nationally recognised litigation, media and sports lawyers

We're in the results business

Commercial disputes arise over contracts, warranties, timing and enforceability. Directors, shareholders and partners fall out. The aim is to achieve a great result as quickly as possible - through skilfull negotiation or litigation.

Careless Whispers (and posts)

Don't do it.....

Be it someone wanting to kiss and tell (shame on you), or someone planning to reveal a trade secret - we have obtained orders to prevent secrets coming out at every level of the Court system to protect our clients.

It’s not the taking part that counts: it's the winning

Contract, agency, regulatory and reputation advice for individuals, players, agents, organisations and governing bodies in sport. We are proud to act for some of the world's leading talents and brands.

“It's none of your business”

Everybody has a right to a private life. The law says so. We have successfully restrained publication of private images, videos, messages and content on many occasions to protect what is clearly private - and should stay so.
